I retired from the Air Force Aircraft as an Aircraft Mechanic in 1989, then I had to get out and go to work for a living. I worked 1 1/2 yrs at Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach on the then new MD-11, transferred to the Saudi Arabian Project Peace Sun project, trying to teach those who didn't want to learn that which they didn't want to learn. Now, work as a contractor Senior Phase A & P mechanic at Vance AFB, OK on T-1A Jayhawks. (same as the civilian 400 Beechjet). You gotta go where the job is.
